Despite their simple appearance, leggings should be approached with a certain degree of caution as they are not always the easiest of garments to wear successfully. The good news is that by following a few straight-forward rules, you can easily avoid any embarrassing sartorial “faux pas”.
Longer length leggings elongate your legs and have a slimming effect - perfect for shirts and tunic dresses where a lot of leg is on show. These works well with black, white and grey outfits - pair with boots and a long cardigan to complete the look.
